flawless with a black heart

In the perfect community, nothing is perfect. The face of the community is flawless but the heart is black. Everything is perfect to everyone but six people. The leader, the peace maker, the lover, the hunter, the cleaner and the journeyer. The leader knows the communities secrets. Every single one. Big brother isn’t just watching. He’s hearing, smelling, touching knowing. The peace maker makes peace with any small argument across the community. He knows nothing is perfect or his job would not be needed.The lover helps families begin, he only knows how to love; but he feels someting is not right in his world, so it is not perfect.The hunter kills. He knows all things must die, the uncomforable thought makes his life a struggle.The cleaner cleans. Simple and boring, the cleaner knows life is not perfect, not like to one that had lured him into this place. The journeyer does not journey, he end them for others. He has the unfortunate position of killing a human when they no longer help the community. Life.
